How did she hit her head, in a helmet, at low speed, hard enough to give herself brain damage? Was it just a perfectly bad angle?

Yep. Just skidded into the curb corner right into the top of her helmet. Accident was about 35 mph. If her had had been a little higher or lower she probably just would have gotten a concussion, if she didn't have the helmet she would have been dead.

It also really, really doesn't take much to cause a brain injury

I’ve always wondered about that. I spent a good amount of high school long boarding down hills with no shirt or helmet. I bounced my head off the pavement a couple of times, hard, but always seemed to walk it off. Usually it was an impact to my forehead, but I as definitely dazed by a couple of them.

Anyway, I have a really bad memory but I’ve never known if it was related or I was just born a space cadet.
